If you had a wind turbine that created electricity to be stored in a battery, and the battery supplied energy to a collection of these motors that were outfitted with driveshafts to props as an inboard motor, would said vessel and drivetrain be legal to enter in the Americas Cup races?

sounds like you need to look into "dead downwind faster than the wind" vehicles. It'll blow your mind.

Man if I never have to change another leaking oil pan or valve cover gasket again I would be ecstatic.   No timing belt replacements, no getting to spark plugs blocked by frame rails.   Not there yet especially for people on a budget but I certainly have no issues with the takeover of electric.
